Session Description:
Only a fraction of students with disabilities seek formal accommodations. Following Universal Design for Learning, many instructors take a proactive approach to accessible course design, creating accessible instructional materials and using varied and inclusive pedagogical strategies. However, they may overlook course policies that create barriers. This talk explores how to apply universal design to course policies, identifying those that create barriers and adopting flexible alternatives that support inclusion and student success without requiring formal accommodations.
